BN Beauty: Get This Look – “Shimmery Darkness” by ThatIgboChick

Hi BN Beautygals. So, I was surfing the Internet yesterday and I found this great make up tutorial by Nigerian beauty blogger Chidimma Umeh on her blog ‘ThatIgboChick’. The last time we saw Chidimma she was showing us how to to define our eyebrows but today, she will be showing us how to get this gorgeous look. I hereby dub it “Shimmery Darkness”.

This make up look is great for a Friday night out with the girls or even a date. It has a bright shimmery silver eye shadow, a lightly highlighted face and deep lipstick in the colour Egg Plant. If you have a lighter complexion you could try toning down your lip colour to a light pink or nude so it doesn’t look too harsh against your skin. You could also try a darker eye shadow colour instead of the silver so it stands out.

I love how simple yet dazzling this look is. What do you guys think? Is it a look you would wear?

Like what you see? Then here is a video showing you just how you can get this look too. Press ►.

Gorgeous gal…. One thing though (actually, 2 things). First, I’m a little skeptical about applying glue to the skin of the eyes, that’s an area that’s quite sensitive and I’m curious as to how the glue comes off when the make-up is being removed. Would you need to use an extra-moisturizing/extra-sensitive eye make up remover?

Wow, I see some friends look like this but never bothered to learn how to apply makeup like this; I be think say na small work. Omo I doubt I wud be able to blink my eyes if I apply all these, the eye will be too heavy for me to carry around. Omo, women we dey try oh. More power to those that go to great lengths to look like this, God bless una hustle. Henceforth I shall know not to envy you. lol

You took the words right out of my mouth. She is very pretty and I love the makeup, but dang,there is no way I would even attempt to apply all of dis at once onto my face, enough respect to her tho, and yes o, dont eny cos you know de hard work into dis na. No be small ting o.

I really need to lean how to do this. I see so many people look so elegant and ‘together’ even at 5pm, and I just admire them. Eyeshadow has never been my thing,but I cant help loving the way it comes out. Let me try this,be right back..
